Had a 2012 TSX (same color/leather - no Nav) and I enjoyed the interior quality.. the 2012 had a front bumper fascia refresh which looks much better and the compartment plastics were finished with a woodgrain/slick type of material which also looks more premium.. Overall a solid car. Biggest annoyance with the steering wheel is the buttons hanging into the grip spaces.
Thank you for the amazing review. I was thinking about getting this generation tsx as my first car maybe next year, and u definitely convinced me to get it.
The tsx this year is “sexy on wheels” it also is the cheapest luxury car to maintain per year, cheapest to repair per year. Compared to Other luxury car like Infinity Lexus Cadillac. Just I wouldn’t recommend a salvage tsx like mine lol
I did researched on this 2009 TSX and found out that only 09 has the knocking noise on the engine, its an defect/issue for 09 year only and said avoid buying 09 year. Good Luck with the car.

I used to own one just like that. Basically a European Accord. I loved it but it was in rough shape (Alaska owned and driven) so I sold it after only owning it for like 8 weeks, definitely lost money on it too. It was such a joy to drive but it needed a couple thousand in repairs to be perfect, and there were a few minor things I didn't like, I was just ready to try something new. I might even consider getting a 12-13 civic si at some point just to get back into a K24 ...
The Accords in Europe competed with the 3 series
I just bought a 2009 Honda Accord 2.4 here in Germany 78 mile full service 1 owner. You've inspired my decision. Thank you
Hey you’re welcome that’s what I’m here for lol 😂
I am in Germany too, having an Accord, the metall noise I dont hear it as much after putting Shell V100, I have had 2 Accords 2.4, it could be a lot of things, like chain, chain tensioner, transmission. But I would say change Engine and Gearbox Oil, and dont be servant to the car, rahter other way around, when it stops go fix it. With Honda it should take a while until it stops. We will see.
@@antoniocvjetkovic2462 no problems so far. Im NRW where you at.
My cousin had a 2009 tsx and I loved it. She got it when it was brand new and she sold it with 350k on it. She also kept her 06 rsx type s that she’s had since new. Her tsx was replaced by a ILX manual.
No way 350k that’s crazy. That’s good news for me giving me hope lol my tsx just started making weird motor noises but I know Honda makes good cars. And even with major issues these cars still run. Lol 😂 I had a 94 Acura Integra 260k miles ran great before I sold her 😢 I had to get a family car so I got a 2005 TL transmission went out at 200k now the Tsx going on 3 years
@@povnelson2019 what weird noise is it making?
Damn 350K on an 09, that's really cool and reassuring to see. I used to have an 03 Accord and sold it at 283K. Now driving an 09 TSX Tech Package with a 6 speed manual at 242K.
@@ahyes589 how is the tsx holding up currently?
@@00lexuses300 Still doing well, probably my cleanest car because I moved from New Hampshire to Texas and this is a clean rust free Southern car (for once). Just installed a new OEM shifter and some Acuity shifter base bushings today since the original was really worn out. Right now I just have a check engine light for an O2 sensor that I've been procrastinating but otherwise no major issues in the 2 years I've had it so far.
I couldn't hear the metallic ticking noise you were talking about, but I would try using 90 octane or higher shell gasoline and see if it improves. If you already use that kind of gas, then I don't know what to say other than a valve adjustment. Mine never made an audible metallic tick.
I paid a grand for mine. Identical to yours. Love it! 140k
Tl with 200k for 6k dammm robbing people blind out here 😂‼️ he said “ima player that’s how it’s gotta be” geez
Awesome video bro 😎
Glad you enjoyed it
Scotty kilmer said that you shouldn't change the transmission fluid if it was never changed in the past, you changed it 4 times in 3 years which is overkill. This might be why it's making a weird noise
Scotty is a clown
I've had 4 drains and 1 flush in 50k miles no issues, feels exactly the same
Acura/Honda certified technician. Scotty is a retard. Trany fluid acts the same as engine oil. Change it asap no matter what. No reason to change fluid that is not properly lubricating. Clutch packs respond better with new OEM fluid. Changing OEM old fluid with new NON-OEM fluid is where the issue and misconception arises.
No, that's not true... You need to change your tranny oil, if not it'll burn out and loose your tranny.
230k on my 2009 TSX. Still purring smoothly.
For the metal ticking noise, besides coming from the Engine, it would be grinding between the brake caliper, brake pads and rotor - check that as well. If is not the Engine, not the brakes, then it could be transmission as TSX (1st or 2nd Gen) do have some issue with Auto Transmission.
Water pump?
I have a 2005 TSX and I read on the manual if you dont use the appropiate fuel octane it will begin to make that noise. I always use 91 even though its the more expensive.
Same here, I always use 91. The TSX will always be a sexy car to me.
If you use a 2009 tsx and get the ticking noise theres a TSB for it because they need to change your knock sensor and update you ECM and TCM... Contact your dealer and plead for a good will, the tick is btw 2000 and 2500rpm. Its not a big deal, they (acura) described it as a post ignition... Its harmless
My first car I’m trying to decide between 2007-2011 Honda Civic and Acura TSX so this helped a little. If I can get what is basically a “luxury Honda” I’d be hyped . I feel like a civic they will beat them down , an Acura I might can find one somone serviced and took care of and I continue doing the same. But I also don’t want my first car to put me in a financial hole… but I’d love this Acura. Help in my decision if you all have any comments I’d appreciate it
The 2007 civic is dope it’s got good style and a lot of great updates. They run forever, just watch out for bad head gaskets. If you want a tsx I recommend 2006-2008 tsx. I’m going to be making a video of my brothers 2008 tsx. It’s the older body style, les attractive, but he works at Tesla Motor and he put over 30,000 miles is he’s tsx in one year. And it is incredible I am blown away by the reliability of his car lol.
Save your money find a nice Honda kept by an old lady or man. Acura are known for many issues …
@@DentSideDee71 reliability
@@rahimi4762 where lmao
@S M miss me with your incorrect false statements
I never heard a noise my Acura TSX a 2010 has been making a grinding noise on startup since I got it 50k miles later it didn’t need a new motor keep up maintenance and you’ll be fine or get a second vehicle.
The grinding noise is the vtc actuator. Don’t go cheap and buy the Dorman brand. Get oem Honda parts. Yes that is exactly what I’m doing I have two vehicles and still keeping up with maintenance. Thank for the advice 🤗
@@povnelson2019but I heard just add oil to it n you’ll be fine or would you still recommend changing the actuator
That noise could be piston ring slap. Are you burning oil?
I love the video bro, what do you think of a 2013 tsx without the tech package, just the base model 2.4 V4? Your comments would be appreciated 🙏
I would do it the 2009 tec is out of date lol. Base model just gives you opportunities to upgrade. Example reverse camera, bigger better radio, dash cam lol
@@povnelson2019 ok ok thank you🔥
@@omarlascares4474 did you ever buy the tsx?
That ticking noise you are hearing, I'm not exactly sure what that is. My '08 CRV does that, same engine K24. I think for me its the transmission cuz it makes the noise when I shift from park to reverse, drive, 1 or 2. Not in neutral though. Only makes the noise when shifting. I think my transmission is failing!
His fits the transmission feel?
I’m looking for the rare V6 version of this beautiful car.
At 5:30 you went over a bump in the intersection and the i light inside the circle on the dash lit up for a brief second what was that about.
Again man thank you for telling me. It’s lucky I got it on film bc it’s happening more often, but it’s so fast when it happens I can never see it. At least now I can research it a little more. Lol thank bro 🙏🤗
That ticking noise is most likely the intake VTC cam sprocket ⚙️. It’s a simply fix!
1- just take the valve cover off
2- take a small nubby ratchet & take the top of the sprocket cover off.
3- pull out the spring, stretch it, & put everything back together.
The whole job should take you no more then 25-35min to complete. Most of the work is just taking the valve cover off & surrounding components.

Hey what tires did you put on the car? and does it make it ride more comfortable?
The rims and tires came stock on a 2018 Honda Civic sport. They came with low profile tires. I put wider tires and it drives so much better
I don't know about the TSX, but run Pirelli P7 Cinturato tires. For road noise, they are the best in the business. I run them in my Lexus es300 They are available in the stock 17 in wheel size for the TSX. ,
Nice vid Nelson is Fabián
What’s up Fabian. Thank you bro 😎
Ugh....she got her can of mace on the keychain & them late model rims on dat classic. WERK!!!!
Dudeee I think I know exactly what you are talking abt woth the very suble ticking noise on the engine! My 09 tsx has the same thing, you only hear that sound when the rpm is at the point around when the transmission is about to shift up right? I tried to find out what that sound is for so long but couldn't find anything on it lol. Please do let me know if u find out what that noise is
If you use a 2009 tsx there's a TSB for it because they need to change your knock sensor and update you ECM and TCM... Contact your dealer and plead for a good will, the tick is btw 2000 and 2500rpm. Acura said it a post ignition issue, it's harmless tho..
Does it have good mpg
It gets good mpg. Full tank will last a little over a week. 60$ to fill up average is 4.50$ a gallon 😅.
Just valve lash needed I bet
are you always driving with high beams on?...
ohh no lol did i do that in the video?
hows this compare to the next gen style?
They only made the Tsx two generation. 2004-2014 then they replaced it with TLX.
@@povnelson2019 Oh ok I was mistaken, I was thinking of the 2008 TL which I thought was the newer lol. Is it worth buying a used TSX vs the newer TLX? I figured they'd be super old by the time I get one
I bought this car for my girl. I wanted her to have a luxury sporty, sexy car lol I wanted her to feel good driving it lol. But if it was for me I would buy the 2006-2008 tsx. They are cheaper, way more reliable, easy maintenance. Simple car but one of Acura’s best
I’m sorry if that doesn’t answer you’re questions. I just don’t know much or researched the TLX
The tick is the actuater bruh had to replace mine
You know what the actuators called?
@@povnelson2019 how to replace VTC actuator chris fix actually made a video on this
@@chiraq95th86 you don’t have to replace it. You just have to take out the VTC sprocket ⚙️ & replace the spring. Hell, you can even use the same spring as you can stretch it & reinstall it.
Those wheels look like they belong to a newer model acura
They are off a 2018 Honda Civic Sport I bought the rims & tires on FB Marketplace for 300$
Try a valve adjustment on the motor
🤔I didn’t know I could do that on the k24. I’ll talk to my mechanic and I’ll let you know. Thanks for the tip.🤗
Modesto
😮💨😮💨😮💨
Sorry if it was boring
@@povnelson2019 no not at all it was more of a ooofff (like dang nice cars) reaction
Who would pay 6k for an 05 tl with 200k 🤣🤣🤣
that’s bad? 🥲
Brah you hearing octane knock while talking about being about service minded. SMH
This car had a class action lawsuit Acura settled for premature brake pad wear. Definitely a year to skip and not ever buy.
😂😂 that’s definitely not the car to get big ass front end grill looking like a whale shark 😂😂
Nice beautiful car but the seats are terrible what was Acura thinking when they made those seats 🤦🏿♂️ I have a 2011 and the seats give me body ache worst seats ever am I the only person
Good lookin car but that huge button in middle of dash looks luke huge wart. Even the japanese.make some hideous.interior decisions
